Situated in Frizington, Cumbria, this charming mid-terraced cottage offers a serene getaway for up to four guests, featuring two spacious bedrooms. The cottage boasts stunning views of the mountains at the head of Ennerdale Water and serves as an ideal base for exploring the breathtaking Western Lakes, including nearby attractions like Ennerdale, Crummock, Buttermere, and Loweswater. The beautiful beach at St Bees is just a 15-minute drive away, while the bustling harbor town of Whitehaven is a mere 10 minutes away, making it perfect for those seeking outdoor adventures or a peaceful retreat in picturesque surroundings.
The cottage is designed with comfort and convenience in mind, offering a separate dining room and a cozy lounge equipped with a Smart TV, DVD player, and an Echo Dot for entertainment. Although some amenities, such as family games, are currently unavailable due to COVID-19 regulations, guests can still enjoy a well-equipped kitchen and a utility room accessible from the rear lane. An outdoor yard with a tap and hosepipe is perfect for cleaning muddy boots and pets, while a downstairs toilet and shower room add to the practicality of the living space.
Upstairs, guests will find two large double bedrooms, one featuring an en-suite with a jacuzzi bath and shower, while both offer comfortable beds that are slightly lower to the floor, which may be a consideration for those with mobility challenges. The front bedroom showcases exceptional views of Ennerdale Water, while the back bedroom overlooks the garden and fields. The property also includes a good-sized garden with grassy areas and a small pond, ensuring a safe environment for families with children and pets, as the garden can be sectioned off with a small gate.
The owners occasionally use the cottage themselves but ensure guests have complete privacy during their stay, with entry facilitated through a lockbox. To enhance the experience, the cottage provides guidebooks, activity leaflets, and local takeaway menus for those who prefer dining in. Guests can also take advantage of an enclosed yard for bike storage, as the C2C cycle path runs nearby, making this vacation home a perfect choice for walkers, cyclists, and those looking to unwind in beautiful natural surroundings.
